We've been using the boards and markers during math small groups, phonics practice, and even for quick brain breaks where students race to solve problems or spell sight words. One of my favorite moments was seeing my students light up during our first \"Write It, Show It, Explain It\" math game—they were so excited to use their own boards and couldn't wait to share their answers with the class.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were in awe—especially when they realized each of them would have their own board and marker. There were lots of \"oohs\" and \"aahs,\" and even a few happy dances! It made our classroom feel brand new again and really boosted their engagement.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the boards for our upcoming \"Number Talks\" and writing review lessons. The dry erase tools have made it so much easier for all students to participate, take risks, and get immediate feedback. Thank you for helping bring more joy and confidence into our classroom learning every day!","fullyFundedDate":1743105495231,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-shine-empowering-first-gra/9181704/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, Shine: Empowering First Graders with Dry Erase Magic!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Watkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8773435_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691223581818","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/miss-watkins5"},{"teacherId":9996419,"projectId":9250888,"letterContent":"On behalf of our K–3rd grade Achievers, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of science kits.
